KANSAS CITY, Mo. — All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes likely will be sidelined until the All-Star break because of a severely sprained left ankle.

Ten games into his Toronto Blue Jays career, Reyes was injured during an awkward slide into second base during Friday night’s 8-4 win over the Kansas City Royals.

Reyes, a four-time All-Star, was carted off the field Friday and placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday.

“A MRI came back, no fracture, but it’s a severe sprain,” Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. “Right now, it looks like it will be three months, and that’s just getting to the point that he’s back in a big-league game. It could be six to eight weeks of rest and rehab.”

• Oakland left fielder Yoenis Cespedes was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained muscle in his left hand after he landed awkwardly in a tumbling slide Friday night. Cespedes had an MRI on Saturday morning before the middle game of a weekend series against Detroit. It showed no structural damage, and manager BobMelvin says no surgery will be needed. He hopes Cespedes will return after the minimum time on the DL.

• Miami said slugger Giancarlo Stanton hopes to avoid a trip to the DL. Stanton had an MRI, and it showed a bruised left shoulder.

• Pittsburgh left-hander Wandy Rodriguez said he will miss his scheduled start Sunday against the Reds because of a strained left hamstring.
